Work Detail

Sikt Intends To Enter Into A Contract For The Purchase Of Licenses For The Ai-Based Tool Claude From The Supplier Anthropic. Reason For The Choice: Sikt Needs An Advanced, General Ai Tool That Can Be Used By Employees Across Disciplines, Including Developers, Designers And Other Roles. The Purpose Is To Support Analysis, Development And Interaction Tasks In Line With Sikts Strategic Goals For The Use Of Artificial Intelligence. After A Completed Needs And Market Assessment, It Is Sikts Assessment That Claude Currently Appears To Be The Most Suitable Solution For The Purpose, Especially In Light Of: *Support For Secure And End-User Controlled Access To Data And Integrations Based On Open Standards, **Good Interaction Between Different User Groups, Including Close Interaction Between Developers And Other Professional Environments, ***Technical Prerequisites For Integration With Sikts Existing Platform Services And Architecture. Sikt Has Considered Alternative Solutions In The Market, Including, Among Others, Copilot, Gemini, Chatgpt And Cursor, But They Are Currently Considered Not To Cover The Need To A Sufficient Extent, Especially When It Comes To The Combination Of Access Control, Integration Options And Use Across Roles. The Market For Ai Tools Is Developing Rapidly. The Choice Of Claude Is Therefore Based On An Assessment Of Available Solutions At The Time Of Procurement, And Is Not Intended To Establish Any Form Of Long-Term Standardization Or Supplier Binding. Form Of Acquisition: Sikt Has Investigated The Possibility Of Acquiring Claude Through The Existing Framework Agreement For Software Licenses, But Has Received Confirmation That The Product Cannot Be Delivered Via This. Direct Purchase From Anthropic Thus Appears To Be The Only Available Procurement Route. Scope And Value Of The Acquisition: The Acquisition Concerns Licenses For Claude, With Gradual And Need-Based Availability To Employees. Estimated Total Contract Value Is Nok 3,500,000. Actual Cost Will Depend On The Number Of Users And Actual Usage Over Time. Options: No Options.
